MAGNA, Utah — The forward progress of a brush fire that broke out in Magna was stopped, and the evacuation orders that were issued have been lifted.

Watch live below as officials give an update on the Cypress Fire:

The Cypress Fire burning on private land burned an estimated 21.6 acres in grass, brush, and thick Russian olive, sending smoke across the Salt Lake Valley, which mainly came from a junk pile on the fire's northwest side.

Residents at the Colony Farms townhomes received an evacuation order, which has been lifted. However, due to nearby road closures, those residents will not be able to access their homes until further notice.
